My latest sewing obsession has been Paper piecing! I got the bug awhile ago when I found images from an incredible group of ladies who formed the Ringo Pie Bee. I've watched the group and the incredible things they create. You can find it here>

About a week ago I was invited to join a Bee of incredibly talented gals. We are following Ringo Pie and will make blocks for the Member of the month based on their theme. I was so honored and excited to be included with this talented group of sewists.

Our "homework" for July and August is to practice our quilting techniques. Lauree who co founded the bee had a link to this fabulous book.

I'm making some nice progress on my Farmer's Wife Quilt. Love the scrappy blocks and I'm learning with each new block I make!I made two of these blocks! I really wanted to see this block in red and aqua.

I am planning to do a lighter version of this block.

These are the blocks I've received so far in the 3 x 6 bee. I love the way they look together. The block in the upper left hand corner is the sample block I made for the bee. I simplified it to have only the teapot.

Heading outside to enjoy the day. It is suppose to be 80 degrees today!!!
